Have any Mormons ever be killed for giving away the secrets?

Not for about 100 years (blood atonement).

Don LeFevre, a past spokesman for the church has said the church,
"...strongly advises its members not to affiliate with organizations that are secret, oath-bound,
or would cause them to lose interest in church activities."
[Salt Lake Tribune Section D1, Monday Feb. 17, 1992]
There goes all the Temple Recommends!

I wonder if Saundra has ever spoken these death oaths? She’ll probably deny it.She never seems to 'speak' to anything.
She is REALLY good at ignoring though.

The architecture of the buildings is too similar to be coincidence.
Fantasy Land indeed!

Ya just gotta wonder: Did God change his mind about pagan-like rituals? Masonic-riddled rituals?
Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriage...
I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws..."

“What kinds of sanctions or discipline will they throw at you?”Even with NO YT videos; folks can SEE what kinds of stuff gets 'thrown' at Apostate MORMONs right here on FR!

“What kinds of sanctions or discipline will they throw at you?”If a Salt Lake City MORMON decides that WW was full of it, and starts PRACTICING what MORMON scripture commands in D&C 132; they will be EXCOMMUNICATED!
Right, Sandy!?

Why should the Mormon secrecy bother Evangelicals considering that so many Evangelicals are Freemasons? Why should sin bother Evangelicals considering that so many Evangelicals have sin in their lives?

To: Colofornian
It's likely that death oaths were originally introduced into the endowment ceremony in order to conceal the secret practice of polygamy in Nauvoo. No, they were copied directly from Freemasonry.

Instead of stressing over The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, why not try to find out what “secrets” are kept in the bowels of the Vatican. Sorry, Saundra, but we have no secret "temples" in the Catholic Church, no two-tier "temple recommend" memberships, and the only secret ritual we have is the sacrament of confession, for obvious reasons. And there's even nothing secret about what goes on there, except for the actual confession the penitent makes.
You can attend our most sacred ritual, the Mass, at almost any Catholic church on almost any day, though you can't receive communion. You'll find no strange stageplays muddling the words of Genesis, no special undergarments, no special handshakes, no blood oaths, nothing like that. We read Scripture, pray, and make the offering Jesus taught his disciples to make.
That's the "secret" in the "bowels" of the Vatican. Shocking, I know.

That should keep you occupied for quite some time and you can take a rest from your incessant Morman bashing.
Ma'am; we don't NEED a rest!
You are not BIC, so you do NOT understand the recuperative power of green Jello©!
